Abstract

A guide blade carrier for a turbine, the guide blade carrier separating an upstream volume from a downstream volume within the turbine, the guide blade carrier further including a carrier body with a fixation device for fixing of the guide blade carrier within a turbine casing of the turbine. The fixation device has a circumferential fixation basis, wherein the fixation basis is confined at its upstream end by a circumferential limitation element. A turbine casing for a turbine and a turbine, the turbine having a turbine casing and a guide blade carrier.

Claims (27)

1. A guide blade carrier for a turbine, the guide blade carrier separating an upstream volume from a downstream volume within the turbine, the guide blade carrier comprising:

a carrier body with a fixation device for fixing of the guide blade carrier within a turbine casing of the turbine,

wherein the fixation device comprises a circumferential fixation basis, wherein the fixation basis is confined at its upstream end by a circumferential limitation element, and

wherein the fixation basis is confined on its downstream end by at least one spatially detached fixing element,

wherein the carrier body is split into an upper part and a lower part separated by a split plane, and

wherein at least one fixing element is located at the split plane of the carrier body and likewise split in two halves, wherein one half of the fixing element is located on the upper part of the carrier body and the other half of the fixing element is located on the lower part of the carrier body.

2. The guide blade carrier according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fixation basis is formed as an annular groove,

wherein the limitation element is formed as an annular disc which forms a rim of the groove, and

wherein the fixing element is formed as an elevated element protruding from the carrier body.

3. The guide blade carrier according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fixing element is formed as an elevated element radially protruding from the carrier body.

4. The guide blade carrier according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fixation device comprises at least three fixing elements.

5. The guide blade carrier according to claim 4 ,

wherein the fixation device comprises four fixing elements.

6. The guide blade carrier according to claim 1 ,

wherein the number of the fixing elements is adapted to a size of the guide blade carrier.

7. The guide blade carrier according to claim 1 ,

wherein the limitation element bears a sealing surface to seal the upstream volume against the downstream volume.

8. A turbine casing for a turbine,

wherein the turbine casing is adapted to cooperate with a guide blade carrier according to claim 1 .

9. A turbine comprising:

a turbine casing and a guide blade carrier, wherein the guide blade carrier is formed according to claim 1 , and

wherein the turbine casing is adapted to cooperate with the guide blade carrier.

10. The guide blade carrier according to claim 1 ,

wherein the upper part and the lower part are identically formed.
